Although a microwave may not save much energy or money over a stove burner when heating water, it can be much more energy-efficient than a traditional full-size oven when it comes to cooking food. Also, use the appropriate size pan for the job at hand, as smaller pans are cheaper and more energy-efficient to heat up.

When it comes to microwaves, wattage equals power. A 1,000-watt microwave will cook quickly and efficiently, so that’s a great baseline. Microwaves with 700 watts or less are slower and may not cook evenly. In general, the higher the wattage, the faster the cooking time.

Power consume by a 800 watts microwave in 1 hour = 800 X 1 = 800 watt hour = 0.8 kWh of electricity. Power consume by a 800 watts microwave in a month (1 hour/day) = 0.8 X 30 = 24 kWh of electricity.

A typical Oven is between 1000 and 2000 watts, but it does not consume all of it during its complete operation. Its electricity consumption depends on the temperature set in the thermostat. Electricity consumption will also depend on the size of the oven and a bigger oven will consume more electricity.

The appliances in your home that are costing you the most money

• Heaters. The chief executive of the Energy Efficiency Council, Luke Menzel, says that heating and cooling are the most expensive household appliances, accounting for approximately 40 per cent of your energy bill.
• Refrigerators.
• Clothes dryers.
• Television and other electronics.
• Energy saving tips.

One of the most important sources of energy is the sun. The energy of the sun is the original source of most of the energy found on earth. We get solar heat energy from the sun, and sunlight can also be used to produce electricity from solar (photovoltaic) cells.

Here are the 10 Household Items that Uses The Most Electricity In Your Home

• Heating.
• Cooling.
• Water Heater.
• Washer and Dryer.
• Lights.
• Refrigerator.
• Electric Oven.
• Dishwasher.

Which household appliances use the most electricity?

• The fridge. Your fridge will, in most cases, be the appliance that uses the most power and can consume up to a third of all the power in your house.
• TV.
• The tumble dryer.
• Electric Hob.
• Dishwasher.
• Kettles.
• Lights.

Heating and cooling Unsurprisingly, maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home is about the most expensive thing to do. “It is estimated that heating and cooling account for as much as 55 percent of our annual energy cost,” Greg Epperson, EPB engineering tech, said.

Most importantly, do check the wattage (w) of your appliances, so you can understand what they cost to use. The higher the wattage, the more expensive they are to run.
